|
| | | I've been seeing great mecha MOCs on the internet for years (starting with Marsbase and Pallas Spaceworks) and I've finally got some pics of my own to post. This is my big dropship: (URL) I took inspiration from the Talon dropship of the Mechwarrior (...) (20 years ago, 19-Apr-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| | | | | (...) I've always wanted to build a mechwarrior-style dropship, the were always the coolest :D VERY nice engines, the xpod tops and even the lt grey barrels are very nice touches! I also like the blue missle packs on the front of the ship, very evil (...) (20 years ago, 19-Apr-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| | | | | | (...) Thanks for the warm welcome, Frank. I love the "Judge" (URL), and you set the standard for hand-held mech weapons. I'll post some individual Mech photos before long. Glad you liked it! I can't remember seeing anyone else use the technic (...) (20 years ago, 19-Apr-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| | | | | (...) WOW! Kyle you rock! I can definitely see years worth of LEGO spaceship and mecha design theory in this masterpiece. The ship is just plain awesome. Although it is a *bit* unrefined, I see great potential for future designs based on it. The (...) (20 years ago, 19-Apr-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)

I still remember the "Galaxy Explorer" (497) I got in 1979 as my best Christmas present ever. (...) I'm planning a re-design (someday) with some (...)

| | | | | (...) Nice ship, way bigger than I thought at first glace. Impressive. I really like the engine area. The mecha are also very nice. I don't like the sides as much: I like using plates as walls myself, and I also actually like some bare surfaces, but (...) (20 years ago, 19-Apr-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| | | | Hey Kyle, I like your take on a mecha dropship, I think its an area that hasn't been explored enough, and it combines .mecha and .space nicely...like peanutbutter and chocolate. While I agree with whoever said that its a bit unrefined (ie. might (...) (20 years ago, 20-Apr-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Maybe the folks on this board will understand when I say I get more of a kick out of building Mechs knowing that there's a way to (...) (20 years ago, 21-Apr-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
